300 posts!

By Mark Rodriguez

Wow, 300 posts and a lot has changed during that time. We finally got to see the big End Game, the culmination of everything in the MCU that started with the first Iron Man film back in the day. With Spider-Man Far From Home showing a big of the world's reaction to the events of both Infinity War and End Game, it closes the chapter on the MCU as we look ahead to see where the story will continue from there. Especially since Disney now owns Fox and the X-Men and Fantastic Four movie rights, and the original Fox X-Men concluded their series.


On other things, Cody Rhodes stepped up and unleashed All Elite Wrestling to the masses. With their events streamed on Bleacher Report Live domestically and the Fite TV app internationally, they are about to have a TNT TV deal in October. From what I've seen at Double or Nothing, Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen, I've been happy to give the ol' WWE a rest.

ProWrestlingTees helps promote AEW but also owns ProWrestlingCrate and has ended up buying out That Wrestling Club and Wrestlecrate, which was actually the premiere wrestling themed subscription box. The 1Up Box is gone and the TMNT Box has now gone quarterly. I was happy to get to unbox their very first quarterly box alongside my bro. Nerd Block was bought out by Insight Editions but all they've been doing for the last year is have sales on their website. Still nothing on if the box is ever coming back.

Videogame wise we await to see if Capcom really will deliver new dlc characters for Street Fighter 5 this August or if this is the end. SNK released Samurai Shodown and we await a King of Fighters 15 next year or so. I also got into Apex Legends, sorta, thanks to a friend of mine. I'm not good at these battle royale first person shooters, maybe someday I'll actually get a kill. 

Our humble little YouTube show, Video Game Masters reached it's 10 year anniversary and I was able to get in some of the old gang like Rakiarmas and Pikachika. The Fish Hunter, an old friend from our days in Mexico is coming back and will be joining us for more videos, starting with our joint review of Spider-Man Far From Home. Video Game Masters is also on the fast track to reach 100 episodes. Plus the VGM Geek Portal is growing slowly but surely on LBRY as that new platform also continues to grow.


I got to hang with my bro a few times as we got to enjoy both Shine Con and Lvl Up Expo together, as well as watch End Game together. I also checked out Sci Fi Valley Con which I haven't been to in years and plan to go to Steelcity Con as well. The Sci Fi Valley Con will always be awesome since I got to meet Rob Paulsen, the voice of Raphael from the original TMNT of my childhood. That is pretty amazing and something I'll always remember. 

Thanks for sticking by the blog and reading along. Let's see what happens in 400 posts!

SNK VS Capcom Chaos Volume 1

By Mark Rodriguez We'll be seeing a few crossovers this month, and we're gonna start with one based on a crossover videogame. If you think the Malibu SF comic series was kinda sloppy, this one was literally all action, pin ups and splash pages, and what little story in it is just plain weird. I'm talking about the SNK VS Capcom Chaos comics made by Happy Comics, translated by Japan and produced with supervision from both SNK Playmore and Capcom. But first a brief explanation on the game this was inspired from. In 2000, Capcom produced Capcom VS SNK Millenium Fight 2000 which would throw the fighters of Capcom and SNK at each other. Unfortunately, aside from Morrigan from Darkstalkers and Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, the game felt more like Street Fighter VS King of Fighters. Capcom later made Capcom VS SNK 2 Mark of the Millenium with even more characters and variety as well as different modes of play. SNK made their own game, SNK VS Capcom Chaos and it offered a bit more...

Arachna# 1 Review *Spoilers*

 By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me.  With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi...

Goshawk and Falconet # 1 (heavy spoilers so beware!)

 By Mark Rodriguez Brought to you by the same studios that brought you Arachna # 1 and 2, we get a brand new superhero duo, Goshawk and Falconet. Let's check it out. The story opens with Goshawk and Falconet soaring through the sky just above Santa Monica Bay. They fly towards a ship that is being robbed. Goshawk tells her to secure the cargo while he keeps the guards busy.  The robbers are working for a villain named Black Parrot. Goshawk lands between two of them and bashes their heads together. Just then a third man pulls a gun on him from behind. Goshawk retracts his wings which knocks the gun out of the man's hand. Goshawk knocks the guy out while Falconet kicks the guy protecting the cargo. Falconet uses one of her claws to pick the padlock and finds a room full of captured women. She assures them that they're alright now. On the lower decks, Black Parrot and a woman named Secretarybird think their mission is a success. With the harbormaster being bought and paid for ...
